GEORGETOWN, Del. — The Sussex Conservation District will distribute 500 native trees on Saturday, October 11, beginning at 9 a.m., as part of the Tree for Every Delawarean Initiative, also known as TEDI.
The giveaway supports Delaware’s Climate Action Plan and marks the district’s third annual TEDI event, bringing the total number of trees distributed to 1,500. The initiative aims to plant at least one tree for every Delaware resident, with more than 350,000 planted statewide since 2020.
Native trees help local ecosystems by providing wildlife habitat, reducing soil erosion, storing carbon, and improving water quality through the absorption of runoff. The event will take place at the Vanderwende-Evans Conservation Center, located at 23818 Shortly Road in Georgetown.
